This compiles:

    ref ubyte[n*2] requires_ptr_twice_as_large_as_input(uint n)
    (
        const ref ubyte[n] input,
        ref ubyte[n*2] output,
    ) {
        output[0..n] = input[0..n];
        output[n..2*n] = input[0..n];
        return output;
    }

    void main()
    {
        ubyte[10] input = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10];
        ubyte[20] output;
        requires_ptr_twice_as_large_as_input!(10)(input, output);

        import std.stdio;
        writeln(output);
        assert(output == input ~ input);
    }

Thank you, neat to see it could be done (I had a hunch!)
